- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift flour with 3/4 cup sugar 3 times; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites and salt with electric mixer until foamy; add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar, sprinkling 1/4 mixture at a time, beating well after each addition until soft peaks form. With a large rubber spatula, gently fold in vanilla extract. Gently fold in flour mixture, 1/4 at a time over egg whites with an over and under motion after each addition. Fold additional 10 strokes after last addition until flour is well blended.
